The odd-even road rationing scheme is back in Delhi as the toxic haze in the city outstripped the Chinese capital Beijing, known for its record pollution levels. The scheme -- under which cars with licence plates ending in an odd number and even-number are allowed to ply on alternate days -- will be in place from November 13 to 17, reported news ag...

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal carpooled with Transport Minister Gopal Rai and Health Minister Satyendar Jain to reach his office as the second round of his Odd-Even experiment was put to its real test today with schools and offices opening after a long weekend.

A number of global capitals have tried a car rationing system over the years to try to reduce congestion. Beijing, Paris, New Delhi, Mexico City: All have at some stage introduced rules to keep cars with odd- or even-numbered license plates off the road on set days.

Despite being turned down recently, Delhi's lawyers aren't taking "No" for an answer. In the High Court today, they argued anew to be exempted from the new traffic rules for the capital that ban private cars on alternate days -a scheme dubbed "odd-even" because cars with license plates ending in odd numbers are allowed on the road on odd-numbered d...

Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today gave a 'thumbs up' to the odd-even scheme for movement of vehicles in Delhi saying it seems to be working "quite well".

The real test for Arvind Kejriwal's Odd-Even anti-pollution rule began on Monday, with Delhi getting back to work after a long weekend. Today is January 4, which means that only cars with even registration numbers are allowed on the capital's roads.

A day before its implementation on a full-fledged working day, the Delhi government today said that elaborate arrangements have been made to meet the "real challenge" as part of which volunteers will be using hidden cameras to take pictures of violators and additional police forces would be fielded to ensure its effective compliance.

The second day of the odd-even vehicular restriction trial, termed as "successful" by the Delhi government, saw Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia cycle to office, roll out of even-numbered cars on the city's streets and a marginal jump in the number of prosecutions.

The offender, who was slapped with the stipulated Rs 2,000 fine, told police that he was going to office and there was no convenient transportation facility from his residence near Pari Chowk, the intersection between Noida and Greater Noida.

As the odd-even rule took off in Delhi today, Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia appealed, "for the sake of the city, it's time to stop thinking that we have to use our own car all the time."

A radical odd-even rule began for cars in Delhi at 8 am on New Year's Day. Today, only odd-numbered cars are allowed on the roads as part of a 15-day plan to allow private vehicles on alternate days.

Pollution levels showed a marginal dip for a while today as Delhi's new odd-even plan for cars took off in a drastic step to cut down smog in the world's most polluted city. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said he is "overwhelmed by the response".

As the Delhi government gets ready to test its new traffic restrictions for the capital, it has run into a roadblock. Nearly 40 officers, authorized to fine residents caught violating the new rules, are not reporting for today's pilot.

Aam Aadmi Party volunteers will help in "implementing" Delhi government's odd-even car scheme but will work within the "framework of law," the party said on Monday, a day after Delhi police chief warned against any form of "vigilantism".
